What fire? Colts can't muster anything on offense. You think switching to Bubba would change that?

No

Hmm if only there was a change to the Patriots OC this season that could explain the offensive woes.

 

And as you also know, the side of the ball that Bill is known for, pretty darn good yet again.

 

You’re gonna have to do better.

 

Doug fails with sarcasm. Even his sarcasm/wit boomerangs his only narratives.

Sam’s arm is really weak.  He’s definitely not the answer.  We just saw why he was drafted so late.  We are officially on the clock for drafting a quarterback.

have to keep losing got to get down to top 5 for that .  cant win any more games and hope teams win

That's what was being said about the OL.

There is away.  They literally have no one to call plays if you fire Frank.  Frank stays until the end of the year most likely and is dumped on black Monday.  

John Fox could probably do it.

Sorry but Irsay never does in season firings.

 

Getting trouched by the Patriots might make it an exception

What I'm honestly sad about is that we won't have this defense next year.  I would love to give our QB of the future this defense.  But chances are people are going to walk, get traded, etc.

I wish we could keep Bradley with a new HC. Wonder if that could be a possibility. But we might have to sell some guys on defense to get a QB. Have to see where we fall in the draft order.

John Fox is a defensive coach and has never called offensive plays before and has nothing to do with the Colts offense so doubtful.

[HitmenSports]

9 sacks. The offense was horrible. I thought Brady was the reason for the bad offense. Play calling horrible. Fire Strausser. Cut Kelly and Pryor immediately Outside of the KC and 2nd Jags game this season reminds me of 2011 with painter hopefully the end results give us a qb that plays like Luck next year. Time to get rid of this over paid offensive line. I’m ok with keeping Leonard. The defense is playing well but time to revamp the front office and offensive side of the ball. Go colts

Again, they have no one to replace him calling plays.  Yeah I don’t like Frank’s play calling anymore than you do but you still have to have someone to do that and the Colts don’t have that.  Firing Frank right now isn’t going to fix anything.  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Omg

Who calls plays on offense if you fire him?  Not saying Frank is a great play caller (spoiler he’s not) but you need someone to do that.

After today I think we will be in the running for the 1st pick.

Frank saved his own * by firing Brady.

Fox could call pass-pass-run... Nobody would know Reich is gone. 

 

lol.. kidding.. but we can find someone to call plays. 

[GoColts8818]

Not really he’s still getting canned at the end of the year.  Brady hasn’t called plays either.

Why does that even matter? A monkey with a laser pointer can call better plays

The only QB change we need at the moment is to fire the former backup QB at the HC position.

I’d settle for

[Dark_Indy]

There's a lot at play here. Moreso than just Reich. I get there's a lot of hate for him.

We knew based on scheduling that the Colt's season would be won or lost by week 7. We had 5 of our 6 divisional games in that timeframe. No schedule should ever have Colts/Titans twice in four weeks. 

 

We have superstars that aren't playing like Superstars or have been injured. 

The O-Line's struggles have been inexplicable. 

Shaq hasn't been healthy yet

J.T. has missed a ton of time.

The Matt Ryan experiment went completely south. 

 

The moves the fans have been clamoring for haven't exactly worked out well either for the win-loss column.

"Bench Matt for Sam"

We did. Sam's young, and will make mistakes. He's cut the turnover problem down. He will grow and learn- we still won't be winning games like today. 

"Stop running Nyheim in-between the tackles"

Hey, problem solved. I heard a lot of voices saying he was overpaid anyway. 

 

Irsay's already called the season. Reich and Ballard probably aren't going anywhere. If one moves, it will be Reich, but I'm not certain that's going to happen.

LOL.  OC shmocy.

 

Have you noticed the difference in the NE offense when they had Edelman, Gronk, and Brady..... and now?  

 

BB must suck as a HC.  LOL.

 

Or ours when we had Luck AC, Rivers AC and now?

 

[coming on strong]

we got to vote for the cardinals bucs and saints to win today and tomorrow .  get us from 14th in the draft to 11th then we play the raiders next week they can jump us again if we lose .      there is no shame in needing a QB and getting a top pick to solve this issue once and for all .  i will still watch every game i just want a real solution no more band aids .   we shouldnt have to level the colts future to trade up

I would love it as well but not holding my breath on it happening.

So guys who have never done it and one you may need to play at moments notice to do it.  That’s not a realistic plan.

 

I am not going to sit here and defend Frank.  I think I’ve made it pretty clear I am not a fan of his play calling and I think he’s toast at years end.  There is just no upside to firing him right now and it makes way more problems this team just doesn’t need right now.

I’m sure they elevate the qb coach or anyone who can read the play book Just put a big note No run run pass and we set to go lol

Frank will likely learn tomorrow from Irsay lol... He is the one that made the last change...

Omg !! No wonder the locker room is bad.

 

Frank doesn't know if he's coming or going

[ShuteAt168]

Ballard took away the option of Hines up the middle, so on 4th and one Frank digs into his offensive bag of tricks and says I’ll do you one better and runs a TE up the middle.

Parks Frazier has been passing game and quarterback coach, he should be able to call plays.

[holeymoley99]

Worst rb in nfl ypc last season started (This season up to 3rd worst), had a rb we signed tuesday taking carries and catching passes. O line banged up but even when healthy struggling.

 

A shame we wont keep this D,sure hope Gilmore and Rodny Mc come back. This is a playoff caliber D.....

I mean this was rotten. Absolutely rotten. A brand new “worst game I’ve ever seen” in this season that unfortunately keeps on giving. 
 

This season and this regime is 2011 bad. It is time to move up the draft order, get a new regime and try again with a fresh start. 

We are worse than 2011 I believe.

If Irsay actual keeps Reich next season then he deserves to watch his franchise be abysmal.
